How to disable auto start for windows live messenger?

I'm sick and tired of windows live messenger to auto start with every reboot. I have went into msconfig to unselect it, but it comes back on. I've googled but can't find the solution. Does anyone have a verified solution to this pest? The reason it's on this computer is because my wife uses it.

I am assuming you are using the latest version.





Select Options under the Tools menu. Select General on the left pane. Uncheck the checkbox "Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows".

Reply:Hi, The answer to your problem has been explained very well by the previous answers. I just wanted to offer my sympathy to you having to put up with Messenger on your comp. What an abomination of a program, it's irritating, annoying and full of spyware, but apart from that it's OK. Needless to say, Messenger was kicked off my comp some time ago.





Cheers,





Graham.
